'The best Simon Cowell photo of all time!' X Factor's Rita Ora, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Nick Grimshaw beam with glee in first selfie of all four judges

They seem to have well and truly hit it off as a panel, colleagues and friends.

And on Thursday, the new line-up of X Factor judges appeared to have bonded for good, as they posed for the first selfie of all of them together.

Shared by new judge Rita Ora on her Instagram page, it shows her beaming widely alongside Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Nick Grimshaw and Simon Cowell.

Along with the fun snap, taken in front of the thousands of audience members at Wembley arena, the 24-year-old singer wrote: 'This is by far the best Simon Cowell photograph of all time. Gotta love him. Great auditions today London! See you tomorrow! @cherylofficial @nicholasgrimshaw.'

Cheryl, 32, then proceeded to repost the image on her own page, adding with glee: 'I am crying.'

Not present in the silly snap - which saw them all, apart from head judge Simon, 55, bearing their perfect white teeth - were new presenters Caroline Flack and Olly Murs.

However, a couple of members from the crowd manage to sneak their way into the back, poking their heads up behind the stars of the show.

It marks the first proper self-taken image of all four of them together, and will no doubt give fans of the ITV talent show a good feeling about the forthcoming series.

Earlier in the day, radio DJ Nick, 30, had shared a pre-audition picture of himself and Rita on his own page, adding: 'here we go....day 1 in London.'

This year's new line-up made their X Factor auditions debut last week when auditions kicked off in Manchester, and Thursday saw them continuing with the first round in London.

Each of them, bar Simon, walked the red carpet outside the iconic arena, spending time chatting to the fans and posing up a storm.

Cheryl had previously made waves the week before with her slim figure at the Manchester auditions, but a week later, she looked like she wasn't going to let any negative comments ruin her day.

The stunner had her dazzling smile in place as she arrived in a chic 60s-inspired Valentino dress, which featured scalloped detail.

The pop princess gave fans a glimpse of her aesthetic for the day as she shared a fun behind-the-scenes picture on her Instagram page. 

Playfully captioning the shot, 'When ish gets real', the petite pop star could be seen raising an arm up in the air as she lowered down to the ground.

She also shared a video of her backstage dancing writing: 'Just a mild version of what goes on behind the scenes when it gets to that time of day and me and my team are deliriously waiting for Simon to either arrive (or have his hair quaffed)'. 

While Cheryl opted for a stylish retro look, new judge Rita chose a modern Versace number.

The singer stood out from her fellow stars in a striking mini dress, which featured multi-coloured embellishments and a sheer side panel.

Wearing her long golden-tinted tresses away from her face, Rochelle accentuated her striking facial features with a vibrant pop of pink lippy, a dusting of peach blush and a few swipes of shimmery eyewear.
